PHSNE show/auction/lecture

The PHSNE show is coming up soon in Wakefield, Mass. The following is the press release. I personally know the cameras that will be auctioned Friday night (they are from a longtime PHSNE member who died recently)-some good stuff for us all, mostly 35 mm but some medium format. The free lecture is something new we are trying-I have seen Ulrike's work, fabulous and she is a willing teacher.

"Our" photo equipment is going for very low prices. You can pick up some great equipment at great prices, and it's fun.

Over 200 vintage Nikon and Canon film cameras and lenses as well several Leica cameras, a few Speed Graflex cameras along with several wooden view cameras will be auctioned off. Also approximately 200 photography books will be auctioned.. Photographers of all abilities will want to attend this auction. Many items are new in the box. There are no images or digital photography items in this auction.

PHOTOGRAPHICA ’07 October 6th and October 7th, 2007. The 68th Show and Sale sponsored by the Photographic Historical Society of New England, (PHSNE), will be held at the Americal Civic Center, 467 Main Street., Wakefield, MA. Over 100 tables. Dealers from throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

Cameras/images, modern, antique, collectible, everything photographic. Dealers will be buying cameras from the public. Open Sat., October 6, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sun., October 7, 10 a.m. to 4 pm. General Admission: $5; PHSNE Members $3; Seniors and Students $4.

So...I was just reminded that we have friends (from germany) visiting on the 7th for a few days, and so there is probably no way I'll make it to this show. If anyone sees a half-way decent 180 to 210 lens for my 4x5 for lets say (max $100 - I know that is quite low, but I've seen them for less before at this sale but like an idiot, failed to buy them) and feel very generous (for a couple days) and want to scoop it up for me, I'll gladly pay you back right away! Whitey is the expert on Lf lenses, so consult with him.
